context_page_description: A paper plane is a toy airplane made from paper. The paper is folded in a certain way so that the folded paper actually glides. This is a form of origami; the Japanese art of paper folding. Paper planes were used originally for testing real airplanes. Today the making of paper planes is a hobby and a craft.
  Takuo Toda holds the world record for the longest time in air. The distance record was set by Joe Ayoob, with a plane constructed by John Collins, in February 2012.
